lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in reality, in all of the debates on reports that have taken place today, we are discussing the same thing. Firstly, the restructuring and relocation of industry and the impact of funds aimed at alleviating this situation; secondly, innovation; and now, once again, strengthening the manufacturing industry in the European Union. Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there is no question that European industry is currently facing a process of globalisation of the economy that is making competition conditions increasingly tough. As far as I can see, nobody doubts the fact that, the more competition there is, the better the final prices for citizens. Nevertheless, jobs in certain European industrial sectors, in particular SMEs, are under threat as a result of structural problems that must be tackled. The European Commission’s Communication is an important step in terms of ensuring that the Lisbon Strategy reaches the manufacturing sector. Europe has a high level of external openness, but Community exports mainly come from medium-level technology sectors, unlike US and Japanese exports, which are predominantly high-technology exports. Furthermore, our specialisation indices differentiate us from our main competitors and make us vulnerable in a series of sectors. We have recently seen, for example, textiles, footwear, furniture, construction and ceramics in this kind of disadvantageous situation. Political and cross-sectoral initiatives are of course necessary in order to improve the conditions for this sector, in the fields of research, training, innovation, patents, access to third-country markets, combating unfair competition practices when they take place and reciprocity in external trade. I would like to thank the rapporteur and the other Members for the new ideas that they have contributed to this document."@en1
